Accessibility

The Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board is committed to creating stimulating and nurturing learning and work environments for all students, parents/guardians, the public and our staff. Our Catholic school community respects, builds upon, and indeed celebrates the uniqueness of the individual, who is created in God's image.

In accordance with our Gospel values and the Church's teachings, it is the policy of the Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board to provide an environment in all of its facilities that fosters independence, dignity and respect. The Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board is committed to providing services that are free of barriers and biases to our students, parents/guardians, the public and our staff. We strive to ensure that the principle of equity of opportunity is reflected and valued in our learning and working environments. Our conduct will demonstrate our belief in the strength that diversity brings to our communities.

We are committed to ensuring that people with disabilities have the same opportunity of access to our services in a similar way as these services are available to all others we serve. We are committed to meeting, in a timely manner, the accessibility needs of people with disabilities in the provision of services including those related to information and communication, employment, and student transportation.

Members of the public may access any information currently on board or school websites in a different format by emailing accessibility@npsc.ca or through copies available in the Principal's office in all schools. On request, information will be made available on computer.
